Obligatory mood music.


Good morning Ireland,


As surely you must know, the president can not govern a country all by himself, but needs the assistance of several strong individuals with certain expertise, this is often called "The cabinet", "The executive government", or, more commonly, simply "The government".

In this article I will go through each of my potential ministries, their duties, and take applications for these ministries.





Ministries - Duties

Country Presidency, CP - The CP holds the highest amount of authority in the nation, his primary duty is of course to govern the country. He may focus on the military aspect, by perhaps assigning the Irish Army to certain tasks, reforming the state of the Irish Army, set up some kind of cooperation between the different military units in the country or even break them down. He might focus on the foreign affairs aspect, by setting up negotiations, bonding with new allies, or older ones, planning cooperation with nations or quite the opposite. He is, in short, involved in all aspects of government.

Vice Presidency, VP - The duty of the Vice President is to assist the president in everything he does, give a second opinion on things, and step into the shoes of the president when the president can't be present. Perhaps the president decides to take a trip? Well, should that be the case, the Vice President would take over from the president, and govern the country, until the president should return. He is the closest associate of the president in the government.

Chief of Staff, CoS - The Chief of Staff is the line of communication between the president (Or Vice President, should that be the case) and the rest of the executive government. Many people associate the work of the Chief of Staff with the army, but this is however not necessarily the case. The Chief of Staff may assign the ministers to certain duties planned by the CP/VP, for example. It is also his duty to make sure that the ministers are doing their job, and should they not he has the authority to warn them, Should they still not fulfil their duty, he might even remove, and perhaps replace, them, should the CP/VP comply.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MoFA - The MoFA is the nations face outwards, to the rest of the world. He assigns, take care of, and should he want, removes or replaces ambassadors. He negotiates with foreign governments, ensures his nations integrity abroad, and keeps good, and bad, relations safe. There will be a deputy in this ministry assisting the minister in his work.
Ambassadors - An ambassador has the quite simple task to communicate with a specific country assigned to the ambassador by the MoFA. This involves chatting on their IRC channels, partaking in discussions on their forums etc. The ambassador may forward messages of lesser importance to the nation in question's government, and possibly even partake in negotiations with the nation.

Ministry of Defence, MoD - The MoD is the highest authority, after CP and VP, in the army of the nation. He makes sure the army is organized and functioning, assigns the army missions, constantly works to improve it, and keeps the recruitment going. He may for instance deploy the army to strike for an allied country, appoint people positions assisting in his work or discharge inactive or potentially harmful soldiers. There will be a deputy in this ministry assisting the minister in his work.

Ministry of New Citizens, MoNC - The Minister of New Citizens has one primary task. To keep newer citizens motivated and going. He is to publish guides, communicate with the citizens, attempt to get them to IRC, help them with any potential questions and such.

Ministry of Immigration, MoI - The Minister of Immigration has the task to accept or deny individuals seeking to acquire Irish citizenship. He is to asset all the requesting individuals and make a judgement whether or not they are deserving of Irish citizenship. This is mainly to battle potential political takeovers from hostile nations.

Ministry of Community, MoC - The task of the MoC is to keep the activity of our dear community going, by for example setting up games in for example articles, our forums, IRC etc, holding contests and taking care of the Citizens Awards.

Ministry of Communications, MoCM - The duty of the MoCM is to keep the different military units in the country communicating with each other, coordinating damage, perhaps setting up common ways of communicating, such as IRC channels or even forums. He works closely with the MoD to organize the damage in Ireland, and make sure that the military unit knows what the nations priorities are.





Applications

Should you feel that you have the experience, ambitions or expertise required to be a part of my potential government you are much welcome to fill out this form.

There are no requirements to enter my government, everyone is free to apply, however, obviously, not everyone will be accepted. Acceptance will depend on whether or not I think you've got what it takes to be in the government. After having filled out the form I will read your application to, and should you be selected I will get back to you through message.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible applying for a position in my potential government.

You may notice that all positions listed above are not listed on the application form, this is because some positions have already been assigned to certain people by me, based on their past experience, expertise and motivation to improve our nation.





In the coming few days I shall be publishing more articles on my policies, how to achieve those, some chit chat and more. Keep an eye out for them.

Glory glory to old Ireland, Glory glory to this island.

Tune in for some class music
